Light & Wonder set to expand OpenGaming platform with Konami
SCIENTIFIC GAMES, doing business as LIGHT & WONDER, takes another bold leap forward significantly boosting its OpenGaming platform offering in the US after signing an aggregation partnership with Konami Gaming.
The deal will see a wide selection of iconic gaming developer Konami’s online portfolio arrive on the OpenGaming platform, meaning operator customers in regulated markets across the U.S. will gain access to a host of classic Konami fan favorites.
Barstool Sports players in Michigan and Pennsylvania, along with Golden Nugget customers in New Jersey are among the first to have access to Konami slots such as Adorned Peacock, China Shores and Astronomical Magic.
By adding even more great games to the largest collection of iGaming content, this partnership serves and strengthens Light & Wonder’s position as the leading cross-platform gaming company in the world.
“This landmark aggregation deal is a huge moment for Light & Wonder as we grow our content offerings in the United States,” said Light & Wonder partnership director Steve Mayes. “It’s no secret that Konami is one of the biggest providers of quality content, its offering is truly second to none and we are delighted to have them on our industry leading OpenGaming ecosystem.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to offer OpenGaming customers its incredible portfolio of slots and are confident they’ll prove hugely popular with players across multiple states.”

The audience reach that OpenGaming provides is hugely appealing and means our immersive content can be accessible to even more players.
